Abstract: |
Albion Archaeology was commissioned by the developer to undertake archaeological monitoring during groundworks for the conversion of three barns, including the construction of a new-build section and an underground link to form a new dwelling at Lynch Farm, The investigation uncovered deposits related to the 19th-century farm buildings and modern floor layers and build-up deposits. One of the buildings examined was a purpose-built piggery (Building 1). Removal of the modern concrete floor revealed brick foundations for a central corridor with pigsties on either side. The other building examined (Building 3) was a stable. Removal of the floor uncovered fragmentary traces of a former cobbled floor and other internal features. No archaeological features or deposits predating the 19th-century farm activity were identified. The underlying geological deposit consists of chalk bedrock. |
